Three point charges of magnitude $5 \mu C$,$0.16 \mu C$,and $0.3 \mu C$ are located at the vertices $A$,$B$,and $C$ of a right-angled triangle whose sides are $AB = 3 \, cm$,$BC = 3 \sqrt{2} \, cm$,and $CA = 3 \, cm$. Point $A$ is the right-angle corner. Calculate the magnitude of the net electrostatic force (in $N$) experienced by the charge at point $A$ due to the other two charges.

  • A
    $177$
  • B
    $12$
  • C
    $17$
  • D
    $29$
